Oregon Cherry Blossom Photo Contest Winners

By Focal Point • February 25, 2023

If you’ve only ever shot in the summertime, or are new to photography, then fall can seem like the end of the perfect season to shoot outdoors. Autumn is around the corner, which means no more blissfully sunny days spent taking pictures in the warm afternoon sunshine. Despite the shift in weather, however, you can still learn new tricks and techniques that will make you a better photographer. Learning to work with softer low light, more shadows, and a different color set are all essential tools in a photographer’s skillset. Also, just because summer has come to its eventual end doesn’t mean that people won’t need your services for school photos, autumn weddings, maybe even group events (hopefully).
